JNOLA Micro-Grants

As the New Orleans Jewish community continues to grow and diversify, JNOLA strives to offer an inclusive set of programs and events that excite our members. JNOLA therefore invites Jewish young professionals to submit proposals for new, timely, and innovative events, programs, or projects.

JNOLA will award up to six $500 micro-grants this calendar year to members of the JNOLA community between the ages of 21-45. Applicants are not required to have had any previous involvement or engagement with JNOLA. We recognize that many ideas for new events may come from members of our community who have not had the opportunity to participate in JNOLA previously.

JNOLA micro-grants may fund a wide variety of events, including, but not limited to service projects, current events programming, industry-based gatherings, educational opportunities, social events, family programming and spiritual or religious activities.

Applications are accepted year-round!
